You Are Tenderness

Eyes of emerald
sunlight dappled through leaves
dancing in forest streams
splashes sparkling on moss
grassy banks under trees

Hair like liquid jet
Nightshade and raven wing
quite overshadowing
dark polished ebony
with your silken glory

Voice low and vibrant
Moves me more than music
striking a chord within
compulsive, expressive
in its variety

heart full of poetry
humour solemnity
phrases come flowing through
thoughts of such symmetry
images strange and free

You are tenderness
strength shared with thoughtfulness
comfort in your embrace
gently considerate
lovingly passionate

eyes of emerald
and hair like liquid jet
your voice low and vibrant
heart full of poetry
love you are tenderness
love you are tenderness
